Good news from an unexpected source.
Last year’s contaminated-milk scandal reinforced fears about China’s food supply, a legitimate concern in a country where most farms rely on toxic sewer sludge to fertilize fields, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
Fearful of the sludge, pesticides and chemical fertilizers, a small group of growers have established organic farms to sell produce and educate the public about healthier food, said Lejen Chen, owner of Green Cow farm, about 20 miles from downtown Beijing.
